Edirol R09 White
24-Bit WAV and MP3 Recorder

Pristine 24-bit recording to go!

Over the past year, EDIROL sold a staggering number of R-1 and R-4 recorders, making “Portable Recording” one of the most successful product categories in the company’s portfolio. Now comes a new addition to the red-hot lineup: the Edirol R09. Building on the success of the R-1, the Edirol R09 takes many of the most desired features — 24-bit uncompressed recording and a built-in stereo mic — and shrinks it all down into a more streamlined, stylish, and affordable package.

Edirol R09 Features

• 24-bit/48kHz (or 44.1kHz) uncompressed recording
• Up to 320kbps MP3 playback and recording
• Records to SD card (64MB card included)
• High-grade stereo condenser microphone built in
• Mic and Line audio inputs; USB I/O
• Easy operation, user-friendly graphic display
• Ultra portable, half the size of the R-1
• Long battery life

Edirol R09 - Crystal-Clear Capture
It’s ultra small and looks like a gadget, but make no mistake — the Edirol R09 is a serious, top-quality professional recorder. Capture source material at a crystal-clean 24-bit resolution with your choice of 44.1 or 48kHz sample rates. You can record and play back in MP3 format as well (up to 320kbps). Once recorded, your files can be monitored through the R-09’s headphone jack and/or exported to a computer via USB.

Edirol R09 - Microphone Included
To record audio into the Edirol R09, there’s no extra gear to buy or no cables to connect. A quality stereo microphone is built right into the unit, complete with a dedicated input control, mono/stereo selector, low-cut filter, and gain boost. Just point and record! If you wish to use an external microphone, the Edirol R09 offers a 1/4 in. mic input.

Edirol R09 - Sweetening
The Edirol R09 is more affordable than its predecessor, the R-1. One reason the R-1 carries a heavier price tag is because of its well-stocked lineup of internal effects. The Edirol R09 isn’t devoid of effects, however. It contains the world’s most-requested/desired effect: reverb. Whether you’re listening to WAV or MP3 files, you can route the R-09’s playback through its internal reverb processor, immersing it in lush, user-controllable ambience.

Edirol R09 - More Than Music
The Edirol R09 is perfect for capturing live music events, recitals, and rehearsals. It’s also handy as a songwriter’s sketchpad, ensuring that no moment of inspiration is lost. But the Edirol R09 has many valuable uses outside of the music world as well. Students can use it to record lectures. Broadcasters and journalists can throw away their antiquated cassette recorders and use the Edirol R09 for in-the-field interviews. Wherever, whenever there’s a need to capture audio, the Edirol R09 can do it hassle-free thanks to its built-in microphone and long battery operation.
